Count of Days One Day Off – oops!

A few days ago I realized that somewhere along the line I goofed and missed incrementing the count of the day (one too many late night updates). Well, I apologize for the confusion this may have caused for anyone who is better at counting days than I obviously am. I will continue the updates for an extra day to ensure that we have the opportunity to complete our scripture readings. So, while this update is for Day 40, the scripture reading will still reflect Day 39 and I am committing to putting out at least one more update to help wrap up the Spring Campaign. I hope you can bear with me!

Jericho March to Close the Campaign - 3 pm Sun

Wrapping up at 3 pm Sunday, we will be completing our daily march around the block containing the abortion site in Reno. This series of daily marches culminates on Sunday, 3/28, at 3 pm, the final day of the Spring 2010 40 Days for Life Campaign, with a march 7 times around the block, for a total of 3 ½ miles of praying that abortion comes to an end in Reno. Please come, pray, march, cheer on those marching, celebrate a successful campaign brought to completion and the beginning of the End of Abortion in Reno!

Wrap-up Rally – 5:30 pm Sun, Across from 5915 Tyrone Rd, Reno

On Sunday we will follow the final Jericho March with a Rally at 5:30 pm. Please join us for this family friendly event. Invite the members of your church by posting a copy of our flyer in your church lobby. Our Wrap Up Rally will be held across from the sidewalk at 5915 Tyrone Rd., Reno (map located at www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/westend )

Lobster Celebration 7:30 pm Sun - Boomtown Buffet

At 7:30 Sunday evening, we will be going to the Boomtown Whole Maine Lobster Buffet, where, for $20 per person, we can celebrate the completion of 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Constant Vigil and Community Outreach. If you are unable to join us at the rally, you are still welcome to join us at 7:30 pm at the Boomtown Buffet, located on Highway 80 West towards Truckee, CA as you leave Reno. Park in the first parking lot on your right, near the Casino Entrance that leads to a walkway under the road and the Buffet is ahead to the left as you enter the Casino.

Cars Continue to Stop and State Support of our Effort

Today, while quiet, was a good day to be at the sidewalk. We have found that the rate of interest by those passing-by is continuing to increase, with the vast majority of the responses we receive being positive and the number of people who actually stop to comment and commend us for our efforts is increasing on a regular basis. Sometimes it requires a long time for someone to move from curious to supportive to actually being willing to state their support to ultimately joining us in our effort. Here’s a report from one of the volunteers who stood in prayer at the sidewalk today, in her own words. …

My daughter and I met [another prayer volunteer] at the clinic this morning and we had many honks and thumbs-ups in affirmation. Only about 3 negative responses. The clinic appeared to be closed, as there was no activity and no music. One man in a truck drove over to where we were standing in the dirt area and asked if we had something for him to sign (a petition?), but we explained that we were peacefully praying to protest the clinic and abortion. He wanted to know if we wanted him to throw a brick through the window and we said NO!, we feel that God wants us to operate peacefully. We told him he could help by praying. He said he would and thanked us for our efforts. He also said he was glad to see a young person out with us.

…It's been a good experience for me and I was glad that my teenage daughter was able to be there a few times with me. It has made an impact on strengthening her faith. I would like to get more teens out there. It might help their faith grow and also help to turn some young girls away from the clinic.

It has been suggested by some that our presence at the sidewalk would bring out those who would do violent & illegal acts against the abortion site and therefore we shouldn’t be out there. This comment has come from those on both sides of the issue. But as such a simple testimony from the sidewalk shows, those who are frustrated by just how far our nation has gone on the matter of abortion are already angry, and it is by our presence at the sidewalk, preaching the Love of Christ and the willingness to be peaceful, prayerful and lawful that those with more radical responses are tempered and brought around to a healthier perspective.

Another volunteer at the sidewalk today was heartened by the number of volunteers who also came to pray at the quiet side of the road on a Saturday afternoon & evening. And again, she encountered two cars stopping to state their support for our efforts, one a couple with two children in the back seat who attend Little Flower Church, live nearby and plan on coming to the site on a regular basis to pray, and the other a political candidate for a Carson City local office who intends to invite his Methodist Church to participate.

She had on hand the flyers which we typically hand out to the women who approach the site to abort their children, so she shared this information with these new supporters. She also had on hand our “Prayer and Fasting Commitment Brochures” which allow others to know more about the 40 Days for Life campaign. If you are at the sidewalk, even if you don’t have these resources to share, please request if the person commending you for your presence has an email address to which we can send additional information. If they are willing to provide it, please forward it to Carol Marie at 40DaysforLifeRenoTahoe@gmail.com so that she can follow-up with them. Also, always encourage these supporters to return to the sidewalk to join us in prayer and to invite their church to join us in the effort. We need every possible prayer partner if we are going to win in this effort. It is also helpful to have extra copies of the “Statement of Peace” on hand, so if they indicate that they plan to return to pray we can have their commitment to our principles signed and on hand.

When you come to the sidewalk at 5915 Tyrone Rd (for directions, go to: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/westend ), please bring some of the referrals to local pregnancy resources that we provide to offer to the women who come to the abortion site. If you haven’t seen this handout, please download a copy from our website. There is a link to it located on the team page, or you can go to it directly at: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/resources . These resources provide the women with the opportunity to fully explore their choices before they end up at a dead end.

If you need any brochures to assist the women you meet at the sidewalk choose life or to promote the campaign, please contact Carol Marie at 530-412-1573 or come to the Life Chain event on Sunday to request your copies.

Before you go to the sidewalk to pray and/or sidewalk counsel, please sign our Statement of Peace, located at: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/statementofpeace . Those who participate in 40 Days for Life are asked to commit to being peaceful, prayerful and lawful while we are at the sidewalk.

Excessive and Wasteful Water Usage

The sprinkler system in the front of the property at the abortion site has been brought back into functioning condition. The Truckee Meadows Water Authority closely monitors the use of water, including the water used on landscapes in the area of the abortion site, located at 5915 Tyrone Road. According to their website, businesses and residences are to follow the same watering schedule, with odd numbered addresses allowed to water only on the following days – Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The use of water is controlled based on a series of rules, Rule 2 addresses the Excessive Use of Water and Water Waste.

See http://www.tmh2o.com/docs/Customer_Services/rules/Rule02_20100217.pdf As can be seen in the definitions here, “Excessive” relative to the application of water means an immoderate or unreasonable consumption which results in: water running into any street, road, parking lot, gutter, drainway, … in a steady stream or flow, or collecting in pools or in a depressed area to a depth of one inch or more or … applying … in a manner contrary to any water conservation regulation, policy, rule, condition, directive, or request that has been issued to the Customers of the public water system or that has been given general public notice by the Authority.

The Truckee Meadows Water Authority website states the following:

Report Water Waste in Your Community

Truckee Meadows Water Authority is serious about preventing water waste. You are the eyes of the community so we need your help. If you see water being wasted, please let us know by filling out the form below. A big part of our success in responding to water waste is very specific information concerning the time, day and location.

If you encounter wasteful use of our precious water resources, please go to:

http://tmh20.com//conservation/assigned_day_watering/report_waste to submit a report. If possible, take photos of what you encounter, especially as it pertains to water flowing on the street and into the storm drain. Note that failure to provide adequate information is the primary reason that these reports cannot be followed up with corrective action.

Please Remember to Stay on the Sidewalk or Across the Street

Just a quick reminder that we don’t want to be in the street when we come to pray. Please stay either on the sidewalk or on the dirt across the street when you come to pray. We also are not allowed to block vehicles entering or exiting the driveway of the abortion site, nor can we block pedestrians on the sidewalk. Thank you for your continued cooperation. If you are asked to move by a police officer, please comply immediately and ask for his name and badge number. We’d like to keep track of any encounters between those who are volunteering at the sidewalk and the Reno Police department, so please email us at 40DaysforLifeRenoTahoe@gmail.com or call us at 530-412-1573.

Have You Encountered Disturbing the Peace or a Noise Nuisance?

Have you been to the sidewalk and been subjected to a noise nuisance while there? Did you know that the City of Reno has a code that specifically addresses disturbing the peace and public nuisances?

Sec. 8.12.020. - Disturbing the peace.

It is unlawful for any person to commit a breach of the peace. Such breach shall consist of:

Fighting or challenging to fight; or
Conduct or words calculated to provoke violence or a violation of the law by the person to whom the conduct or words are addressed; or
Making annoying, lewd, malicious or threatening telephone calls; or
Willfully and unreasonably subjecting a person or neighborhood to any noise which is likely to disturb the peace of persons of reasonable and ordinary sensibilities.

(Code 1966, § 11.12.090; Ord. No. 5047, § 1, 9-28-99; Ord. No. 5387, § 1, 11-5-02)

And further on in the code regarding Nuisances:

Nuisance or nuisance activity. That which is injurious to health, or injurious, indecent and offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or is against the interest of public morals, decency, safety, peace and order, including, but not limited to, an attractive nuisance, a nuisance per se, criminal activity, the presence of debris, litter, graffiti, garbage, rubble, abandoned, unregistered or junk vehicles or junk appliances, curfew violations, or any other activity, behavior or conduct defined by the council or Nevada Revised Statutes to constitute a public nuisance. Nuisance or nuisance activity includes unreasonably creating, allowing, or engaging in any activity, conduct or use of property that subjects a person or neighborhood to noise which is likely to disturb the peace of persons of reasonable and ordinary sensibilities. [Reference NRS 268; NRS 268.412; 1997]

Sec. 8.22.035. - Nuisances per se defined.

Any of the following conditions are a nuisance per se as constituting conditions which annoy, injure or endanger the safety, health or comfort of any considerable number of persons:

(1) An unsafe or dangerous building; …

(25) Any other condition which creates a blight to adjoining property, the neighborhood or the city, or a nuisance, health, safety or fire hazard identified as such under the conditions set forth in the International Fire Code, International Building Code, Uniform Abatement of Dangerous Buildings Code, Washoe County Solid Waste Management Code, or any other Reno Municipal Code or Washoe County Code or the Nevada Revised Statutes.

While we need to be accountable for our own behavior and ensure that we ourselves do not in any way cross over from prayer and an exercise of our Free Speech to being a public nuisance, we should also be protected from those who seek to disturb our peace or use noise as a nuisance towards us. The Reno Police Department Non-Emergency number is: 775-334-2677. I recommend you program it into your cell phone. If you do contact the police for an incident of Disturbing the Peace or a Noise Nuisance, please also contact us at 40DaysforLifeRenoTahoe@gmail.com or 530-412-1573 and let us know how your call was handled. Please get the name of the officer with whom you spoke, as well as their badge number. If a report was taken (this is what is required for them to follow-up on the matter) be certain to ask for the case number and provide that to us as well.

Video Cameras Recommended

It has been recommended, and I’d like to encourage you to consider this recommendation, that those coming to the sidewalk bring a video camera when you come to pray. Place the camera in your car, or on a tripod on the sidewalk, to videotape you while you are standing in prayer. It is prudent that we have a video record of all that occurs at the sidewalk, as we gather peacefully, prayerfully and lawfully.

In addition to stories from around the country, there is a daily prayer reflection given each day.

Vigil Calendar

Volunteers Needed Sun 7 am – 1:30 pm

We are on the final day of the Spring 2010 campaign. We have thus far been finishing with a strong presence at the sidewalk, but we could use your help to cover Sunday morning in prayer. Please, take some of your personal time in a final show of faithfulness to Our Lord as the Spring 2010 campaign comes to a close!

Please register the hours when you can come pray at the sidewalk by going to our on-line calendar at: www.vigilcalendar.com/renotahoe. The names of those who sign up on the calendar are hidden from all but a small and select group of volunteers who can assist others in registering their hours on the calendar, so you needn’t fear that you might be harassed by anyone opposed to our prayers, nor do you need to fear that posting your hours is a form of boasting that you are being pious in your prayers. Signing up simply allows us to coordinate our efforts so we can determine where we have holes in our volunteers efforts, allowing us to best use our time while ensuring we maintain a constant prayer covering at the sidewalk.

While we appreciate having you sign-up in advance, you may simply show-up to pray at the sidewalk at any time of the day or night when you are available to join us. Your prayers have value well beyond anything we can see and we welcome whatever contribution you can make to the effort as we Pray to End Abortion. If you haven’t already done so, please sign a Statement of Peace, by going to www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/StatementofPeace.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 39 – Revelations 8-15 (including: Revelations 11:16-19): The twenty-four elders who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshipped God and said: “We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty, who are and who were. For you have assumed your great power and have established your reign. The nations raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to recompense your servants, the prophets, and the holy ones and those who fear your name, the small and the great alike, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightening, rumblings and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.

Gaston County Ends Abortion Coverage on Health Plan

[WCNC Charlotte NC, Gastonia, N.C.] – by Beth Shayne - There was no dissent and little discussion among the all-Republican Gaston County Board of Commissioners as they voted to end coverage of elective abortion for county employees.

"I think if we would have known anytime sooner this would have already been taken out," Commissioner Tracy Philbeck said after the meeting. "I think the citizens I represent in Gaston County do not want their taxpaying dollars to be used towards abortion."

The resolution commissioners unanimously approved authorized the county manager to rollback the county health plan's coverage of abortion "to the fullest extent of the law."

That means that abortions would not be covered except in cases where the mother's life was in danger. Gaston County Human Resources Director Pam Peacock told NewsChannel 36 there is no exception for cases of rape or incest, though County Commission Chairman Mickey Price said after the meeting he believed there was such an exception.

"Whatever we can legally do, that's what we want to do," Philbeck said. To Read the Entire Article …

Coming Events

National Pro-Life T-shirt Week - April 27th-May 3rd

NPLTW is organized by American Life League with the intent to increase awareness of the personhood of the child in the womb and the tragedy of abortion.

Primarily, we are concerned with getting people to think of the child as a person from the moment of his or her biological inception. It is much harder to murder a person than it is to "remove a lump of tissues," and it is only when we finally get the nation thinking in those terms that we will be able to restore the right to life of our preborn brothers and sisters.

Just by wearing the T-shirt and being out there in public, you will help to accomplish that goal!

For more information, go to: National Pro-Life T-shirt Week

Crossroads Walkers Coming to Reno - June 5-6

Watch for details of the next Crossroads Walkers as the once again arrive in Reno on their Pro-Life walking trip across the United States. I anticipate that they will likely once again stop by the First Saturday Rosary while they are in town. If you haven’t previously met any of the young people who participate in this 12 week excursion, I encourage you to make a point of getting to know them. I will hopefully have additional details regarding opportunities to meet with them as their visit comes closer. For more information on the Crossroads walk, go to their website at: http://www.crossroadswalk.org

Reno Less One Save & Other Still at Risk

Yesterday (Thurs), we reported that a family with a situation much like Diego’s from the Spring 2009 campaign was put in touch with the resources necessary to spare the developing child’s life. Sadly, while we had counted this as a save, we believe that it was this mother who was seen entering the abortion site today, along with what we presume to be her sister-in-law. Please pray for this mother, now that she will have the pain of an abortion to deal with, in addition to the challenges to her marriage.

A third situation was also brought to our attention on Wednesday, and it was again written up in yesterday’s update. The mother who indicated that she was being dragged to Reno from out of town has not been heard from, and we fear that she has not been able to save her child. Please continue to pray for this young family of a mother engaged to the father of her child and a child who is unwanted by this same father all because they failed to wait until marriage, and now he doesn’t want his peers to know they crossed this line. Why does he not realize that God sees all and he is only compounding the first problem by adding onto it with a second far greater problem, even if it is hidden from mere men.

New Prayer Volunteer Shares Story of Near Abortion through Coercion

A new member of our team of prayer volunteers shared the story of her near miss with abortion after she became pregnant with her third child. Her husband at the time was unwilling to support the idea of their family growing to include another child and he insisted that she immediately abort, but she managed to resist him, despite his position as an attorney, with all the legal advantages that provided him. In her own words …

When I became unexpectedly pregnant with my third child, my marriage was already in trouble. My ex husband insisted on an abortion, and I told him that was something I absolutely could not and would not do. He threatened to get my other two kids away from me, wage a bitter custody battle, and do everything so that I would not see my other two kids again.

The pressure mounted through the first trimester. I did not get an abortion, and for almost a year was a part of one of the most bitter custody battles imaginable. My ex kept reminding me it was all because I refused to listen to him and have an abortion.

He did not leave me alone for 23 years. I got custody of the kids at first, then when I lost a job several years later, he came after them and got them. When I finally got the courage to move to the same city he was in (I was pretty afraid of him), he did everything he could to make my life a living hell. He finally disappeared from my life after my kids did what all the attorneys couldn't do: they threatened him with [ending] their relationship with him if he did not back off.

No one should go through this. No one should be coerced or pressured into an abortion. It is a form of domestic violence...violence threatened to the life of a living being.

Bravo to her for having the courage and fortitude to stand strong in the face of such a trial. We trust that God will greatly bless her when she reaches her final destination!

New Participants Continue to Join the Effort Every Day

Even as the Spring 2010 Campaign draws to a close, we continue to have new people join our effort each day. Today, a young woman who attends RCF came to the sidewalk after seeing us standing in prayer. She asked us what we were doing and felt strongly that this is something that God wants her to get involved in doing. After talking with a prayer volunteer on the scene, she was provided with copies of the information we have on hand to offer the women who approach the site, as well as a brochure we use to invite others to join our effort of Prayer and Fasting. Before the conversation was over, she shared that the reason our effort is so near and dear to her heart is that she has had 4 abortions, and now has no living children. She gladly took one of our large “I Regret My Abortion” signs and intends to return, hopefully with her pastor and their congregation as well.

Yesterday we saw more of the same, as a couple stopped a prayer volunteer to thank her for her presence at the sidewalk. The husband indicated that he drives a large construction vehicle past our vigil on a nearly daily basis. He was struck by the fact that we are conducting a Jericho March as each time he drives past he honks his horn 7 times, just like the 7 times they went around Jericho on the final day. This couple attends the Christ Spirit Filled Church in Sparks, which is a strongly Pro-Life congregation. He intends to invite his pastor to join us on the sidewalk in the future.

Each has been encouraged to bring their pastors to our Wrap-up Rally on Sunday at 5:30, when we would welcome them to address our audience. If you know a pastor who has words of wisdom to speak on the subject of life, we would welcome them to join us as we Celebrate the completion of 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Constant Vigil and Community Outreach.

Excessive and Wasteful Water Usage

The Truckee Meadows Water Authority website states the following:

Report Water Waste in Your Community

Truckee Meadows Water Authority is serious about preventing water waste. You are the eyes of the community so we need your help. If you see water being wasted, please let us know by filling out the form below. A big part of our success in responding to water waste is very specific information concerning the time, day and location.

Have You Encountered Disturbing the Peace or a Noise Nuisance?

Have you been to the sidewalk and been subjected to a noise nuisance while there? Did you know that the City of Reno has a code that specifically addresses disturbing the peace and public nuisances?

Sec. 8.12.020. - Disturbing the peace.

It is unlawful for any person to commit a breach of the peace. Such breach shall consist of:

Fighting or challenging to fight; or

Vigil Calendar

Volunteers Needed Sat 7-10 am & 2-7 pm; & Sun 7 am – 1:30 pm

We are in the final few days of our campaign. We have thus far been finishing with a strong presence at the sidewalk, but we have real holes in the coverage on Saturday and Sunday. Please, take some of your personal time over the weekend in a final show of faithfulness to Our Lord as the Spring 2010 campaign comes to a close!

40 Days through Scripture

Day 38 – Revelations 1-7 (including: Revelations 4:8-11): The four living creatures, each of them with six wings, were covered with eyes inside and out. Day and night they do not stop exclaiming: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is and who is to come.”

Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever. They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming:

Worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive Glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because “of your will they came to be and were created.”

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.

March for Life Europe to Become a Historical and Significant Pro-Life Event

[LifeNews Brussels, Belgium] – by Bryan Kemper - I am in a small office right around the corner from the European Union Headquarters with a handful of students who are frantically working to organize the first ever March for Life Europe. These students are all volunteers who have dedicated months of their lives to shine the light of truth and life here in Brussels.

I came with a small team from Stand True and Survivors to speak and work to make this March for Life a success. Our team is out on the streets right now with a high school student from Brussels passing out fliers and posters, talking to the youth in parks and train stations. They are walking up to groups of youth anywhere they can find them, sharing the message of life and inviting them to the March.

We started our journey at the Third Annual Student Pro-life Conference in Scotland where we were able to hear amazing pro-life talks and connect with pro-life youth from around the world. We were present to promote the Survivors Pro-life Summer Camp and the Stand True Summer Mission Trip.

We were so amazed by the passion of these young people and their desire to get more active in pro-life work. They asked tons of questions about how to get things started and how to motivate youth in their hometowns. One of the students who stood out to us was a young German woman called Martina. She comes from an area where there are just a handful of active pro-lifers and wants to desperately to see more action at home. We invited Martina to come to Survivors Camp and the Stand True Mission Trip this summer to get trained and equipped for this work. We are excited that Martina will also be joining us here in Brussels on Sunday.

During some of the meal times we sat and talked with large groups of students, encouraging them to continue to take a stand. I had so many amazing conversations with students and received a bunch of invitations to come and speak around Europe. To Read the Entire Article …

Georgia Senate OKs Bill to Stop Race-Based, Sex-Based, or Coerced Abortions

[LifeNews, Atlanta, GA] – by Steven Ertelt – The Georgia state Senate today approved a bill that would make it illegal to do an abortion when it is done because a baby is a certain race, gender, or because the mother was coerced into having one. Senator Chip Pearson was the sponsor of SB 529, which cleared the chamber on a 33-14 margin.

The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act would apply to abortion "the same standards of nondiscrimination" that govern employment, education, government and housing, its sponsors say.

The bill provides enforcement of the existing law regarding the Women's Right to Know and it gives women who have been coerced into having an abortion they don't want the opportunity to bring suit against abortionists who violate Georgia law.

Catherine Davis, director of minority outreach at Georgia Right to Life, told LifeNews.com the bill is needed because abortions target black women.

"According to the CDC, of the 38 states that report, Georgia is currently leading the nation in abortions in the black community. African-Americans make up 30% of the population and 59% of the abortions," she said.

"In 2008, according to the Georgia Division of Health, 18,901 abortions were performed on black women. SB 529 seeks to protect these women and their children, from making decisions they did not want to make," Davis added.

Dan Becker, the president of Georgia Right to Life, talked about the importance of the legislation.

"No child should be aborted because of his or her race, sex, or color. If it's wrong to discriminate in the workplace, in housing and in education because of race or sex, it should be wrong to discriminate against a child because she was born the wrong sex," he said. To Read the Entire Article …

Two Reno Saves & Another at Still at Risk

Yesterday (Weds), we reported that one High School couple had returned an aborted their child after having talked with one of our sidewalk counselors, but that another couple had received information and appeared willing to give their child life. We are happy to report that we have received confirmation that this second couple have committed to life, and are moving forward with the necessary plans to properly care for their child. But even after they had been given information about the alternatives available to them, and even though yesterday afternoon they used the phone number to contact the resource closest to them, they still returned to the clinic this morning to abort their child. It was only as they stood at the counter completing the final paperwork, that they changed their minds and decided they couldn’t go through with the procedure that would end the life of their child. Please know that your prayers are what are needed to soften the hearts of those who are confused by the challenges of being pregnant when they hadn’t planned for a child. Use your prayers to help them appreciate that they have been given an unexpected blessing for which they will one day Thank God, if they only accept this precious gift. If the opportunity arises, we will give additional details on how we can come together to help this young family.

Thursday has brought us the happy opportunity to save another child from a lonely and painful death through abortion. For those who remember last year’s happy story of Diego ( see his photo as he looked when his proud parents brought him to the Wrap-up Rally in the Fall of 2009), this is nearly an exact repeat of how that story began when we met them at the abortion site. For those who don’t recall, the situation is this. Thursday this week a mother who came to the abortion site in the evening to handle some last minute paperwork in preparation for Friday morning’s abortion is being intimidated into aborting by her husband because the child is not his. To further exacerbate the situation, the father’s features are sufficiently different than his that it is likely that the child will not look like either him or the mother. She wants to keep the child, but she needed to know that there was a way to address the problems that she is facing now that this child is on the way. I have assured her that the baby isn’t the problem. There are many issues that we need to deal with, but let’s simply take them, one at a time, and we’ll work them out until we have untied the knot that her life is currently in. She has an appointment to talk with someone in greater depth and she left happy to know that we are there to help her. Please keep her, her baby, her husband and her family in prayer. There are many more details, but all we need to know is that God has the whole story and we need to storm heaven asking Him to assist in this situation, just as He helped with Diego’s parents.

A third situation was also brought to our attention on Weds and it was written up in yesterday’s update. We were able to find a doctor for this mother who is being pressured to abort, and she apparently made it to her appointment on Thursday morning. We do not know how things proceeded after that, as she has not been taking the calls of the center employees from her home city who helped her or our calls from here in Reno. Please pray that her fiancé decides that he loves her and their baby enough to stand by them and protect them. This is another situation that requires our fervent prayers.

When Pretense Masquerades as Virtue

[Chicago Tribune] – By Kathleen Parker – … Poor Bart Stupak. The man tried to be a hero for the unborn, and then, when all the power of the moment was in his frail human hands, he dropped the baby.

Now, in the wake of his decision to vote "yes" for a health care bill that expands public funding for abortion, he is vilified and will be forever remembered as the guy who Stupaked health care reform and the pro-life movement.

Of all the disappointed activists, Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org and creator of StandWithStupak.com, was perhaps the most demonstrative in his support of pro-life Democrats. He even created a video with a remake of the final battle scene from "Braveheart."

A helmeted British Barack Obama says, "Our cavalry will ride them down like grass. … Full attack!" Whereupon, Stupak, eyeglasses incongruously perched on his blue-painted face, commands his pitchfork army, "Steady. … Hold, hold, hold."

Alas, Stupak couldn't hold.

Ultimately, he was weak and overwhelmed by raw political power. History is no stranger to such moments, but this one needs to be understood for what it was. A deception.

The executive order promising that no federal funds will be used for abortion is utterly useless, and everybody knows it. First, the president can revoke it as quickly as he signs it. To Read the Entire Article …

One Lost, One Possibly Saved and Another at Risk

Yesterday we reported on a young High School couple who took a long time to talk with one of our prayer volunteers. We are sad to report that they were seen this afternoon both entering and then several hours later, obviously post-abortive, leaving the site. Please keep this young couple in prayer. The saddest element with these teens is that the young father was doing what he mistakenly believed to be the best thing to protect his young family. Pray that when he realizes his error that he will also come to know Christ and the forgiveness that can only come through Our Lord Jesus Christ, so that he can quickly learn to live with the reality of what he has chosen for his child and the woman he claims to love.

On Weds, another young High School couple left the abortion site, with the young woman in tears, but obviously not post-abortive. They also spent a long time talking to our Prayer volunteers, two of whom stepped forward to help them understand the facts of abortion and the reality that we will be there to help. Please pray for this young couple, that they will follow-through with their commitment to give life to their young child. The prayer volunteers who talked with them believe that they are prepared to keep their child and they have been offered numbers to call, any time of the day or night. Please Pray, a life may depend on it.

A third situation was also brought to our attention on Weds. After reading our website, a mother contacted us, she is engaged to a Muslim man and has found that her Norplant contraception failed, leaving her now 12 weeks pregnant. Her fiancé has insisted that she must have an abortion as his understanding of the Koran is that it is very clear that being pregnant before being married is not permitted and therefore an abortion is necessary. (It is our understanding that this is a poor understanding of the Koran, where the prescription is against the relations that have resulted in the conception of this child. The Koran also condemns abortion.) She is scheduled to come to Reno from out of town to obtain an abortion on Friday.

She, in the meantime, doesn’t want an abortion; she seriously desires to keep her child. She also has a history of post-partum medical difficulties, and she fears that this is most likely her last pregnancy (she is already the mother of three children). She has already tried to find a pro-life doctor in her home town who was willing to help her fiancé appreciate that an abortion could trigger some of the medical issues she encountered previously while delivering, and could result in harm to her health as well as possibly resulting in her not being capable of carrying another child afterwards. Please pray that through the resources to which we have referred her that a doctor can confirm for her that these fears are well founded in the medical facts of her case and that her fiancé will follow through with his promise to support her in bringing their child to term if provided with evidence of this being true.

If this is not possible, please pray that God gives her the courage to do whatever is necessary to protect her child and to live according to her conscience.

Please, come before going to work in the morning, at your lunch hour and again after work, as a final show of faithfulness to Our Lord as the Spring 2010 campaign comes to a close!

Typically the business of selling death is busiest in Reno on Weds through Friday. Won’t you please commit to pray at the sidewalk for an hour on these days?

On the weekend, while we aren’t encountering women on their way into the abortion site, we do have the opportunity to have an impact on those who are driving by on Airway or those who walk past. Please come to the sidewalk and assist us in covering the sidewalk with prayer, 7 days per week for 40 Days, as we Pray to End Abortion.

Please register the hours when you can come pray at the sidewalk by going to our on-line calendar at: www.vigilcalendar.com/renotahoe .

Signing up simply allows us to coordinate our efforts so we can determine where we have holes in our volunteers efforts, allowing us to best use our time while ensuring we maintain a constant prayer covering at the sidewalk.

You are welcome to sign-up or simply show-up to pray at the sidewalk at any time of the day or night when you are available to join us. Your prayers have value well beyond anything we can see and we welcome whatever contribution you can make to the effort as we Pray to End Abortion. If you haven’t already done so, please sign a Statement of Peace, by going to www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/StatementofPeace .

40 Days through Scripture

Day 36 - I Peter 1 – I John 1 (including: I Peter 4:12-19): Beloved, do not be surprised that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as if something strange were happening to you. But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let no one among you be made to suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as an intriguer. But whoever is made to suffer as a Christian should not be ashamed but glorify God because of the name. For it is time for the judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, how will it end for those who fail to obey the gospel of God?

“And if the righteous one is barely saved, where will the godless and the sinner appear?” As a result, those who suffer in accord with God’s will hand their souls over to a faithful creator as they do good.

The Aftermath of the ObamaCare Vote

[National Right to Life, Washington DC] – By Dave Andrusko – You almost have to smile (to keep from crying). After figuratively parading across the stage, crowing about enactment of ObamaCare yesterday, today quietly and out of sight "President Obama makes good on a promise to anti-abortion Democrats Wednesday, signing an executive order in the afternoon stating that no funds from the health care overhaul may be used to finance abortions," according to the New York Times.

Of course, Obama did nothing of the sort. Pretending that he has is part of the ongoing disinformation campaign intended to sell a measure that is widely distrusted by many Americans, including all pro-life Americans.

Pro-life PACs are not fooled. As you will read at the end of Part One and in Parts Two and Three, they are rescinding their support for formerly pro-life Democrats and/or are promising to work against their re-elections.

You would expect the Times, the pro-abortion newspaper of record, to serve as a megaphone for the malarkey of a pro-abortion Administration and a Congress led by powerful pro-abortion figures such as Senate Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi. What escapes pro-lifers is that some erstwhile pro-life Democrats profess to believe that Obama's executive order makes everything hunky dory. Neither the man--Obama--nor legal precedent in anyway support such a rosy conclusion. In fact, just the opposite.

Obama is joined at the hip to the Abortion Lobby. He is going to vigilantly scan the horizon to ensure that no federal money is smuggled into the hands of Planned Parenthood? Please.

Planned Parenthood surely gets it: "Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to keep the Stupak abortion ban out of the final legislation and President Obama did not include the Stupak language in his Executive Order." [www.ppaction.org/network/hcr10fvng?source=hcr10fv_pphp]

And, of course, if there was anything to it--which there isn't--Obama could revoke the executive order at the drop of a hat. But even a minute and a half's reflection makes it clear that the executive order won't or can't change a thing.

During the weekend debate Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wi.) warned that his fellow members of the House "should not be fooled." He explained, "If an executive order moves the abortion funding in this bill away from where it is now, it will be struck down as unconstitutional because executive orders cannot constitutionally do that."

Pray for High School Teen with Weds AM Appt

Today, several of our prayer volunteers were at the sidewalk when a young couple, in their Senior year of High School parked at the sidewalk and walked into the abortion facility. On their way in, one of our most gentle volunteers approached them, looked lovingly into the young ladies eyes and let her know that she has options, that there are other options available for her. She got a mere shrug from the young mother as she and her boyfriend continued into the site. Shortly after, they walked back out and this time another of our prayer volunteers, who is herself post abortive, approached them as she was about to get into the car. The young woman willingly stood and had a long conversation with our volunteer as she learned more about abortion and the life changing regret that follows such a decision. This young couple stayed, the young man already seated in the driver’s seat, his girl friend, the mother of his child, stood at the open passenger’s door, making no move to get into the car as she conversed with our volunteer.

Sadly, the young man reflects a mistaken understanding of his role to protect his child. He has a strong desire to do the right thing, and he earnestly wants to ensure that his child not go through the pain of rejection that he sees in friends and family members who are in the Foster Care system. He mistakenly believes that a child would be better off suffering the relatively quick pain of an abortion as compared to the long term emotional pain of abandonment that he feels would accompany the child if adopted out. He was also under the illusion that at 8 weeks, which their child is, that the infant 1.) is not yet alive and 2.) was incapable of feeling any of the pain associated with an abortion. He also stated that he didn’t want to see his girlfriend go through the pain of being pregnant for 9 months, as she has already been suffering with morning sickness. These fallacies were corrected with love for those listening, so they might not make an uninformed decision that cannot be undone.

Our prayer volunteer was able to share her own family experience with teen pregnancy, for she was also a Senior in High School when she found herself pregnant and then aborted her son. Her sister, several years later, also became pregnant during her senior year and rather than aborting her child, she lived with a family out of state while she was pregnant, gave her child to an adoptive family and returned to school in time to walk in her graduation ceremony with her peers. She now knows her first daughter, was able to attend her wedding and has a relationship with her first grandchild. The third story from this family on the subject of teen pregnancy relates to our volunteer’s niece, the youngest daughter of her sister, who also found herself pregnant in her High School Sr. year. She made a different choice than either her mother or her aunt. She and her boyfriend, now fiancé, chose to give their child life and raise him together. Of these three women, the only one who is left with regrets and the loss of a child is the one who chose to abort the child she will never meet, our volunteer.

Even though this young mother, met at the sidewalk on Tuesday, is herself adopted, she is uncertain that adoption is the best option for her child, and she feels she is too young to raise a child. She is currently scheduled to return to the facility for an abortion on Wednesday morning. Please pray for this young couple that they will use the resources provided to them, that they will call the Reno Crisis Pregnancy Center or our volunteer who willingly offered to talk to them at any time, even if they choose to abort their child, because if they do abort, they will need the love and support of those who have been there. Your prayers are needed, even if you read this after Wednesday morning, for it is through the grace of God that their child will be spared, and God is outside of time, so please, pray, right now.

Also, if you have the opportunity to help those who buy into the lies sold by the culture of death, it is your responsibility as a Christian to reach out and bring light into the world. Far too many have the mistaken impression that abortion is in some way a loving compassionate choice for a child who’s parents feel unprepared to provide a healthy home. This thinking fails to appreciate the special, sacred nature of being human, that we have been created in the image and likeness of God himself, that God alone gives life and that it must be God alone to take life. Please pray that these fundamental truths be realized by more people every day, so that our culture can return to an appreciation for Life as the first of our Constitutional Rights, without which none of the others matter. This young mother, herself adopted, is nearly done with High School and intends on going to college. She is in a relationship with a young man who appears to love her deeply and she has experienced this love in her life. These experiences of love and growth and her continued potential as she begins to move into her adult life would not exist without life. She would not have the potential to come to know, love and serve Christ if she had been aborted from her mother’s womb.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 35 - Hebrews 11 – James 5 (including: Hebrews 12:1-13): Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God. Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood. You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons: “My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges.” Endure your trials as “discipline”; God treats you as sons. For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are without discipline, in which all have shared, are you not sons but bastards. Besides this, we have had our earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not [then] submit all the more to the Father of spirits and live? They disciplined us for a short time as seemed right to them, but he does so for our benefit, in order that we may share his holiness. At the time, all discipline seems cause not for join but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it. So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed.

SCOTUS Passes On Mass. Abortion Clinic Case

[ FOXNews.com, Washington DC] – by: Lee Ross - A Massachusetts law mandating a 35 foot "no speech zone" around abortion clinics will not be given further review by the Supreme Court the justices announced Monday.

The law was upheld by a lower court last year. Opponents contend the law improperly carves out an exception to First Amendment protections. "The statute makes it a crime to stand on the public sidewalk and display signs, distribute leaflets, pray in silence, or converse with willing listeners, even when there are no incoming patients in or near the zone," lawyers for five Massachusetts residents wrote to the high court asking the justices to take the case.

Anyone who violates the 2007 law is subject to a small fine and up to three months in jail but the law's opponents law contend there was no need for the Massachusetts legislature to act. They say there is no record of anyone in Massachusetts who was prosecuted under a previous state law imposing a six foot perimeter. These opponents also object to the language of the statute that makes it specific to abortion clinics rather than all health facilities and the exemptions given to people who have business in the clinics.

In asking the justices to keep out of the case and effectively uphold the law, Massachusetts officials argued the new legislation is necessary to protect public safety and to ensure people have access to abortion clinics. To Continue Reading …

Children, Teens, Young Adults, and Middle Aged Adults Come to Sing & Pray

The sidewalk on Monday, the day after the passage of Abortion Funding Health Care was marked by a wide array of people coming together to Pray to End Abortion. One mom showed up at the sidewalk with her 5 children. They gathered and prayed together as a family, joining the adults already present in prayer. Before they finished their time at the sidewalk, the father of the family came by to pick up their son for a game, after he also spent some time in prayer.

Two teens arrived intent on praying as a way of dealing with the news of yesterday’s House vote, knowing that ultimately, we have the opportunity to reach the hearts of the women who are putting the lives of their children on the chopping block, often to solve transient problems. The day was a range of individuals each coming to

CMA physicians: Without Strong Conscience Protections, Bill Imperils Poor Patients Part Four of Four

[National Right To Life, Washington DC] – The nation's largest association of faith-based physicians, the 17,000-member Christian Medical Association (CMA, www.cmda.org ), today lamented the passage of a sweeping healthcare overhaul bill that lacks strong conscience protections, saying the gap could lead to a crisis of health care for poor patients. "Millions of poor patients and those in medically underserved areas currently depend on care from faith-based hospitals, clinics and physicians who follow life-affirming ethical standards such as those found in the Hippocratic oath and the Judeo-Christian Scriptures," noted CMA CEO Dr. David Stevens.

"National polling reveals that 95 percent of faith-based physicians say they will be forced to leave medicine without conscience protections. Since the bill passed by Congress does not include strong conscience protections, it opens the door to an increase in discrimination against physicians, hospitals and clinics that decline to participate in abortion and other morally controversial procedures."

While several longstanding federal laws passed on a bipartisan basis over the past 35 years have offered strong conscience protections, President Obama has announced plans to rescind the only federal regulation that implements those laws. The Senate bill passed by the House on Sunday does not prohibit discrimination by the government or healthcare facilities against healthcare professionals who attempt to follow their conscience on abortion and other morally controversial procedures. The Senate had declined to pass a strong conscience-protecting amendment offered by one of its two physicians, Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn. To Continue Reading …

Final Week of 40 Days for Life Begins – COME SUPPORT THE EFFORT!

The final week of the Spring 2010 begins, and we’d like to see everyone who has been following the campaign through these updates, make a point of coming to the sidewalk to Pray to End Abortion. If the Health Care Reform is ever implemented, it will absolutely impact the lives of millions more innocent children.

We may not be able to control what happens in Washington DC, but we can control what happens here in Reno, at this sidewalk as we Peacefully, Prayerfully and Lawfully gather to Pray to End Abortion. Our prayers are having an effect. They are helping women realize that they have other options as they choose life. They are having an effect on those who drive by and realize what is happening in this sad place in our town. They wave, they give a thumbs up and it is our hope that they remember to say a prayer, which would otherwise have been left unsaid. There are others who, when driving by, see us and their consciences are pricked, as they think, perhaps for the first time in years, about their own culpability in an abortion. This reminder gives them the opportunity to reflect, and hopefully to repent so that they can draw closer to God, who is all knowing, all loving and ever willing to forgive the sins of their past.

We also pray that our presence is having an effect on those who are working inside the abortion site itself. We would like all involved in the industry, but especially those who work here in Reno, to appreciate the sanctity of life from the moment of conception, when the egg and sperm first come together and a new life begins. We know that we have inroads to those whom they know, through stories which we cannot share here. These opportunities to have an inside look into the lives of those involved with the abortion site came about due to our ongoing presence at the sidewalk, and the conversations this presence has started. It’s possible that God is calling you to be an apostle for Life through your participation in this activity and the subsequent conversations about your experiences.

What I ask of you now, is that you take this to prayer. Take it to real, substantial prayer, asking God, “How Lord, would you have me respond to this request? What can I possibly do? How can I possibly go somewhere that does such things as this?”

House Passes Pro-Abortion Senate HCR Bill After Executive Order Deal

[ LifeNews, Washington DC] - The House of Representatives tonight approved the pro-abortion Senate health care bill on a 219-212 vote with a 34 Democrats joining Republicans against it. The bill contains massive abortion funding and promotion that pro-life Democrats hope an executive order will mitigate.

Before the votes, Rep. Bart Stupak negotiated a deal with pro-abortion President Barack Obama for an executive order that he says will nullify the abortion funding.

But, pro-life groups unanimously opposed the executive order saying they don't trust Obama and that technically it will fail in its attempt to stop the legislation's abortion funding. They say an executive order can't modify federal law and that abortions will be funded regardless of the content of the executive order.

"Unfortunately, this proposal does not begin to address the problem, which arises from decades of federal appellate rulings that apply the principles of Roe v. Wade to federal health legislation," Richard Doerflinger, of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, explains .

"The executive order promised by President Obama was issued for political effect. It changes nothing," National Right to Life added. "It does not correct any of the serious pro-abortion provisions in the bill."

The top Republican in the House told Democrats prior to the vote that they should be clear the bill funds and promotes abortions.

"Make no mistake, a ‘yes’ vote on the Democrats’ health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions," he said.

Despite the abortion funding in the bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi twice referred to the right to "life" -- something Americans United for Life president Charmaine Yoest called a "horrible irony." To Continue Reading …

The Final Vote Roll Call

Sadly, the final vote is in, and Health Care has passed in the House, opening the way for many many more abortions. If you would like to know how each member of the House voted, the final vote can be found at: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll165.xml

We may not have been able to stop Health Care that will impose abortion funding nationwide, but we can be there where the abortions are happening, to offer at better choice. Come Pray at the sidewalk.

Local Volunteer Visits Beaverton Sidewalk

Another of our local prayer volunteers has had the opportunity to visit the sidewalk of another campaign while traveling and reported back that she found 7 prayer volunteers standing in front of an abortion facility where they are conducting a one per week vigil. She was happy to be able to share with them the success we are having here in Reno, as we have been getting coverage with very few breaks through-out the week. Each time we stop in to visit our counterparts while traveling around the country we have the opportunity to learn tips from them, as to what is making their campaign a success and we have the chance to share with them our successes, thus encouraging them to continue with their effort. It wasn’t that long ago when maintaining a full vigil seemed a slim likelihood, and yet we are currently doing it, and getting results to show for the effort.

On Saturday, while at the sidewalk, on volunteer was approached by a woman from Columbia who, while agreeing absolutely that abortion is terrible, didn’t feel she was the sort of person to spend a lot of time in church, to read the Bible much, or to do a lot a praying. It is hoped that through this random conversation with our volunteer that her curiosity to establish a closer relationship with the Christ of her youth will bring her to begin exploring who He is in her life. Let us pray that it is so.

Each time we stand at the sidewalk, whether we are there alone, or with a large group of other prayer volunteers, we give witness to the Love of Christ, and our concern for the loss of innocent life. We cause those who drive by to consider their position on the subject, and confront their own positions, often for the first time in many years. The truth does well when brought to the light. It is only lies which thrive in the darkness. So, come, do not hide your light under a bushel basket, let your witness be seen and be the salt that our world so desperately needs.

352 Babies Saved!

World-wide, there are a reported 352o babies saved during the current 40 Days for Life campaign. The incredible thing is that we know from local experience that there are saves that aren’t reported to the sidewalk, sometimes for years afterwards, and sometimes they are never reported to those who come to pray and council the women entering the abortion site. Praise God for all those who are saved from abortion and the women who are spared the trauma! Praise God also for those who have been brought to the healing of Our Lord Jesus Christ through the witness provided at the sidewalk.

Health Care Vote Count

Speaking of doing everything possible to sway votes, the President has apparently been in talks with Bart Stupak, with promises of signing an Executive Order to halt the Federal Funding of abortion in exchange for his vote and the votes of those in his voting bloc. I pray they aren’t naïve enough to believe that such an order would 1.) accomplish that which is needed to make this Health Care Reform Bill palatable, and 2. ) that it would be kept in place long enough to do what little it would be represented as doing. It has also been stated that an Executive Order legally can’t accomplish what is needed, and therefore wouldn’t stand up to legal challenges, rendering it constitutionally ineffective.

An excellent blog has been written on the subject, which also goes on to list those Representatives who are most likely to play a pivotal role in this election. Please consider contacting them and if you know anyone who lives in their districts, please ask them to contact them as well.

To read the blog, go to: http://thehayride.com/2010/03/no-bill-no-cbo-numbers-bad-sign-for-obamacare/

Please call her at: (202) 225-5965, Las Vegas (702) 220-9823 – Her website has a strong emphasis on Jobs. Has she perhaps been getting the message from her constituents that this bill is NOT what they want? Contact friends and family in Las Vegas to encourage them to contact her ASAP.

LA Times Survey

Even the liberal LA Times is onto the fact that this Health Care Reform is not right for the nation and is not what the citizens want. Here’s how the intro to their poll begins:

You may have heard some mention now and then and around the clock during the last year of some very lengthy piece of healthcare legislation that President Obama wants very badly. You can tell the smoker wants it. Just look at him.

Well, here's your chance to cast your own vote below.

And the healthcare bill is pretty much the only thing he's talked about in town halls -- not counting his NCAA picks and one or two mentions of his war in Afghanistan.

The nifty healthcare bill won't cover Obama and his family; government folks are exempt from the legislation that they've decided is just right for the rest of us.

Anyway, over these past way too many months you may have also noticed a little bit of debate over this bill that would cost $940 billion, according to current estimates and you know how dead-on those always are.

Woman Has Recurring Dream of a Baby Struggling in the Womb Then Learns She Was Aborted!

Here’s an amazing story to share with anyone you know who is uncertain that the unborn infant is alive or aware of their surroundings. This is the true story of a young woman who, while still a little girl had a recurring nightmare of being the baby in a womb and fighting to survive, feeling that she was under attack and unable to move out of the reach of something evil and dangerous. Later, when she was a young woman, her mother admitted what she had previous held secret, that she had aborted her daughter, but that she had survived the ordeal. This aborted child had formed clear memories of the event, which were stored in her subconscious, and had been haunting her dreams as a child. To anyone who questions the humanity of the unborn, I direct them to this powerful testimony of courageous survivor. See it here: http://www.juda4praise.com/News.htm#dream

Prayer Volunteer Meets Abortion Survivor

“I wanted to stop and commend you for standing out here.” This is how a conversation began with a woman who drove up to the prayer volunteer at the sidewalk early Friday evening. She had her teenage daughter sitting next to her in the passenger’s seat. When she was pregnant, the doctors insisted that due to health reasons, she absolutely needed to abort her child. As frightening as it was, she refused and continued to carry her child to term. This baby whom the doctors wanted to abort is now a beautiful, healthy, happy young woman whose life has meaning. She’s quite grateful that her mother insisted on allowing her to have life, against the advice of her doctor. She survived the abortion that never happened, thanks to her loving mother. They have been given a flyer of information regarding our campaign, so I hope and pray that they join us as we Pray to End Abortion.

Before they arrived at the sidewalk we were once again blessed by the presence of Fr. Jason and Brother Luis. We had as many as 8 people present at one time, and another turn-over in volunteers again resulted in 6 people present praying. The number of volunteers praying at any given time, and the consistency of the coverage continues to grow. But we can still use your help, as the prayers of the righteous are answered, and we know that if we are persistent in our requests, they will be heard and answered.

Sun – Mar 21	Bishop Manogue High School	Matt Schambari	(775) 336-6000

Bring Adopt-a-Day to your church by contacting us at 40DaysforLifeRenoTahoe@gmail.com or by calling Carol Marie at (530) 412-1573. We will schedule your church for a day at the sidewalk.

Volunteers Needed Sat 7-10 am & 5-7 pm; Sun 7-8 am, 2-5 pm – 5:30-7 pm; & Mon 7-8 am & 5:30 – 7 pm

Which hour during the week can you cover with prayer? We especially need you to stop by the sidewalk before going to work. This gives you the opportunity to be present when the doctor and his staff arrive for their day of work. We want to be present in prayer as they arrive to begin their day.

Perhaps you can take a late lunch and come to the sidewalk at 2 pm, staying to pray for an hour. Or would you be able to swing by at the end of the work day to pray from 5-7 pm? We like to continue our prayers at the sidewalk even after the doctor and his staff have left for the day. If the weather turns, praying from your car still provides the spiritual benefit to the site, but seeing a prayer volunteer standing in inclement weather has turned more than one person from abortion or from participating in the industry, as they see the strength of our commitment. Help us maintain a constant vigil for 12 hours of the day, from 7 am until 7 pm daily. Please register using our online calendar, so we can be certain that the sidewalk is covered in constant prayer.

The business of selling death is typically busiest in Reno on Weds through Friday. Won’t you please commit to pray at the sidewalk for an hour on these days to assist us in filling the schedule?

On the weekends, while we aren’t encountering women on their way into the abortion site, we do have the opportunity to have an impact on those who are driving by on Airway or those who walk past. Please come to the sidewalk and assist us in covering the sidewalk with prayer, 7 days per week for 40 Days, as we Pray to End Abortion.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 32 - 1 Thessalonians 3 – I Timothy 5 (including: 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12): To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.

Pro-Life Women's Group Runs TV Ad in Districts of Five Wavering Dems

[LifeNews , Washington, DC] – Doing everything possible at the last-minute to try to sway wavering pro-life Democrats to vote no on the Senate health care bill. That's the idea behind a slate of new television commercials the Susan B. Anthony List has released in a handful of Midwestern congressional districts.

Today the Susan B. Anthony List launched a $200,000 television advertisement campaign aimed at pricking the consciences of these pro-life Democrats.

The ad exhorts these members to vote “No” on the healthcare bill which includes federal funding of abortion, fails to protect consciences, and creates numerous abortion mandates.

“This has been a long and difficult battle since we began targeting members and drawing attention to constituent opposition to federal funding of abortion in a healthcare reform bill more than a year ago,” the SBA List president, told LifeNews.com. “Our latest ad targets those whose vote will make or break this bill: pro-life Democrats sitting on the fence.”

The ad is focused on Reps. Jason Altmire and Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, Brad Ellsworth and Baron Hill of Indiana and Alan Mollohan of West Virginia. Full story at LifeNews.com

Pro-Life Students: Speak Out Against Tax-Payer Funded Abortions

Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director for Students for Life, America, has put together a video regarding the current legislation that is being addressed in the House of Representatives. Take a moment and watch it at:

Abortion 101

Abortions Are Only Legal in the First Trimester, Right?

The Roe v Wade and the lesser known Doe v Bolton Supreme Court companion decision, resulted in abortions being legal for all 9 months of the pregnancy. Some states have put into place certain limitations on abortions performed after liability, including the State of Nevada, which limits abortions after the 24th week to those required for the life or health of the mother. Unfortunately, the health of the mother has been interpreted by most states to include both physical and mental health. This mental health exception is the loophole necessary to justify abortions if being pregnant creates anxiety for the mother, or she might be depressed by taking on a child. To see how each state addresses late term abortions, go to: http://www.guttmacher.org/statecenter/spibs/spib_PLTA.pdf

Local Campaign News

Prayer Group Gathers at the Sidewalk

A local prayer group decided to come to the sidewalk on Thursday afternoon, resulting in a gathering of 11 people praying for Dr. Stutes, his staff and all the women who have come to this site seeking an abortion. It was wonderful to feel the power of the prayer that was lifted up on behalf of all who have been hurt by abortion. Consider inviting your prayer group to spend an hour together at the foot of the cross of our day.

Last Opportunity to Adopt A Day at the Sidewalk

Thus far, our campaign success in maintaining a nearly constant vigil at the sidewalk has been possible because people like you have stepped up and requested their pastors to Adopt a Day at the sidewalk, inviting church members to join us in prayer. This weekend is the last opportunity during the current campaign for you to invite members of your church community to join us at the sidewalk so our campaign can better reflect the entire body of Christ as we Pray to End Abortion. Approach your pastor and request that your congregation join on the sidewalk to defend the most innocent and defenseless children be protected from abortion. Once you have permission to move forward, please contact Carol Marie (530-412-1573) to secure your date at the sidewalk.

We have found that those who pray at the sidewalk grow in the depth of their relationship to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Being where the killings are done also creates a sense of just how serious this issue is and increases the intensity of the prayers that abortion will soon come to an end. These are the spiritual benefits of participating in this campaign at the frontlines, not to mention the benefits that occur when a mother sees those who love her child enough to come out of their comfort zone to plead for the innocent life. We can’t save every child that is brought to the abortion site, but on occasion, we see the fruit of our labors, through an innocent life saved. Please come to Pray to End Abortion?

Loving Use of Laws to Maintain a Peaceful Atmosphere

During a conversation at the sidewalk today the subject of the use of the existing laws to address concerns at the sidewalk was raised. Perhaps a clarification is in order for those who wonder what is behind our decision to pursue legal remedies in the manner described below. Just as a loving parent will prevent their child from developing a pattern of throwing temper tantrums, the most loving thing to do in the existing circumstance is to work with the city and the police to minimize the pattern of escalating response to our presence at the sidewalk. We do not encourage anyone to use these laws in a vindictive manner, but rather to protect our right to being peacefully present to express our Free Speech against the continuation of abortion.

Excessive and Wasteful Water Usage

The Truckee Meadows Water Authority website states the following:

Report Water Waste in Your Community

Have You Encountered Disturbing the Peace or a Noise Nuisance?

Have you been to the sidewalk and been subjected to a noise nuisance while there? Did you know that the City of Reno has a code that specifically addresses disturbing the peace and public nuisances?

Sec. 8.12.020. - Disturbing the peace.

It is unlawful for any person to commit a breach of the peace. Such breach shall consist of:

Fighting or challenging to fight; or
Conduct or words calculated to provoke violence or a violation of the law by the person to whom the conduct or words are addressed; or

Willfully and unreasonably subjecting a person or neighborhood to any noise which is likely to disturb the peace of persons of reasonable and ordinary sensibilities.

And further on in the code regarding Nuisances:

345 Babies Saved!

World-wide, there are a reported 345 babies saved during the current 40 Days for Life campaign. The incredible thing is that we know from local experience that there are saves that aren’t reported to the sidewalk, sometimes for years afterwards, and sometimes they are never reported to those who come to pray and council the women entering the abortion site. Praise God for all those who are saved from abortion and the women who are spared the trauma! Praise God also for those who have been brought to the healing of Our Lord Jesus Christ through the witness provided at the sidewalk.

Health Care Update

[United States Conference of Catholic Bishops ] – by Rich Doerflinger - Congressional leadership's campaign to persuade pro-life Democrats in the House to vote for a pro-abortion Senate bill on health care reform is being greatly assisted by a mass of misinformation, claiming that the bill does not fund abortions and is "pro-life."

To assist you in contacting your elected representatives, to urge them not to support the bill without critical changes on abortion and rights of conscience, these materials are now posted on the USCCB web site:

Why billions of dollars in new health funding will not be covered by Hyde amendment: www.usccb.org/healthcare/communityhealthcenters.pdf

One-page overview of abortion/conscience problems in the Senate bill: www.usccb.org/healthcare/030410facts.pdf

Response to law professor Timothy Jost who has claimed the Senate bill is "pro-life": www.usccb.org/healthcare/jost-response.pdf

One-page chart comparing House and Senate bills: www.usccb.org/healthcare/Issuechart.pdf

If your elected representative has a record of opposing federal abortion funding, please urge him or her to read these materials in making a final decision. If they have questions about any of the points made here or need further documentation, they should feel free to contact me ( rdoerflinger@usccb.org , 202-541-3171).

Even members with consistent pro-life voting records are being misled or confused by the false claims circulating in Washington about the legislation. If your own representative is firm on the issue, please ask him or her to share these points with others who may be more confused. As occurred in November, the ultimate fate of unborn children under this legislation will depend primarily on whether pro-life Democrats maintain their strong stand in defense of life.

House Rules Committee chair Louise Slaughter now says her committee won't meet to set a rule for debating the legislation until at least Saturday. This means there will almost certainly be time for parishioners to act on our newly updated bulletin insert before the House vote. Please distribute the alert as widely as possible (see www.usccb.org/healthcare ).

Giving Loud and Clear Guidance to Members of the House

[NRLC] - By Dave Andrusko - Why should you bother to call your member of the House of Representatives yet again to protest the Senate's health care bill on which the House is close to acting? After all, those who criticize NRLC insist our concern about HR 3590 is much ado about nothing.

But, in fact, pro-life resistance is much to do about something of major consequence, as we shall see momentarily.

No pro-lifer will be fooled by the confident assurances uttered by President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Whether the bill passes is very much still up in the air. They are counting on opponents to give up at the eleventh hour.

Each day this week I've directed you to www.capwiz.com/nrlc/callalert/index.tt?alertid=14772666&type=CO --NRLC's Condition Red/Action Alert. I hope you've gone through the entire Alert (and shared it with others), especially the part that reads,

"When all of the pro-abortion provisions are considered in total, the Senate bill is the most pro-abortion single piece of legislation that has ever come to the House floor for a vote, since Roe v. Wade. Any House member who votes for the Senate health bill is casting a career-defining pro-abortion vote. A House member who votes for the Senate bill would forfeit a plausible claim to pro-life credentials. No House member who votes for the Senate bill will be regarded, in the future, as having a record against federal funding of abortion." To Continue Reading

Religious and Clergy Pray at the Sidewalk

This week we saw Sr Carol come to pray at the sidewalk on Tuesday and Father Jason Clark and Brother Luis Peiret praying on Wednesday. Both times, the speakers were turned on to broadcast one of the skits that specifically insults the Pope, followed by another that insults the Catholic Church and Catholic clergy. But the insult for the sake of the Kingdom was well worth it, as on Weds, one young couple slowed as though to enter the abortion site, but after catching the eye of Fr. Clark they slowly continued driving past, and finally towards the end of the block picked up speed and finally turned to the right onto Home Gardens Rd. It is our prayer, although we may never know for certain, that this couple, when they came face to face with a priest praying at the sidewalk of the abortion site, chose to spare the life of their child.

Please, invite your pastor or any other clergy or member religious to come pray at the sidewalk. Men and women who have committed their lives to the Lord have an especially powerful impact on those who come to the abortion site.

Several couples also stopped to receive information regarding Post-Abortion healing as they left the site this afternoon. It is hoped that this, combined with their seeing clergy while driving away, that they will take the time to realize that they need to be reconciled with the Love and Mercy of Christ. It is our hope to draw them to this healing Grace as quickly as possible, and towards that end we do our best to show them love, even knowing that just moments before they participated in the killing of their own child. A women who remains in denial about her abortion is likely to have another abortion if she changes nothing in her behavior and again ends up pregnant. Those who accept the forgiveness of Christ and make Him Lord and Savior of their lives are likely to bear the good fruit of making better choices in their life.

Abortionists Do Convert, Continue to Pray for Dr. Stutes

While praying out at the sidewalk the other day, the point was once again made that we need to continue to pray for the conversion of Dr. Damon Stutes, the local abortionist. One of the prayer volunteers present questioned whether it was truly possible that Dr. Stutes, known for some of his vile gestures and comments, could possibly convert, appreciate that life begins in the womb and deserves protection from the moment of conception. The story of Bernard Nathanson, founder of NARAL was raised. On Wednesday, again at the sidewalk, the story of another abortion industry convert was raised, Carol Everett, who herself had an abortion before her decent into working the industry. For information on her amazing story of decent to salvation, read further.

Day 30 - Galatians 5 – Philippians 1 (including: Galatians 5:1-6): For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yolk of slavery. It is I, Paul, who am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Once again, I declare to every man who has himself circumcised that he is bound to observe the entire law. You are separated from Christ, you who are trying to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

House to Consider Bill Incentivizing Embryo Destruction

[LifeSiteNews , WASHINGTON, DC] – By Kathleen Gilbert - A bill has been introduced to the House of Representatives that would set in stone guidelines developed for the National Institute of Health's embryo-destructive stem cell research. Pro-life sources on Capitol Hill warn, however, that the bill's wording goes farther than the NIH guidelines, providing broad authorization for research on stem cells taken from cloned embryos, and embryos conceived solely to be destroyed in research.

The "Stem Cell Research Advancement Act," HR 4808, was introduced by Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Mike Castle (R-DE) on March 9, the anniversary of President Obama's signing of an executive order to unleash funds for the research.

While guidelines proposed by the NIH ostensibly restricted research to only "leftover" embryos created for in-vitro fertilization, the legislation calls for the Secretary to “conduct and support research that utilizes human stem cells, including human embryonic stem cells” without any limitation regarding the purpose behind the creation of the embryo.

Another section of HR 4808 directs the Secretary to update stem cell guidelines “as scientifically warranted” - leaving open the possibility that future embryonic stem-cell projects could be carried out against embryos created solely to be killed in research. To Continue Reading

Pray and Fast For Health Care Reform

Today a radio program talked about the Equal Rights Amendment, and the push to have it ratified in the late ‘70’s. The state of Illinois was taking a vote, and it was a foregone conclusion that the votes needed to ratify the amendment were in place. Those who had been fighting hard to preserve traditional family values approached the day of the vote with a commitment to prayer and fasting, hoping against the likelihood of success, and placing their final trust in the Lord. At the last minute, two votes were turned around and the amendment was not ratified. Even the president of NOW at the time commented in an interview that there was something powerful standing in opposition to the ERA and acknowledged that it was not of Flesh and Blood.

This is the witness to the power of God that we need to pray for as Congress moves towards passage of the Health Care Reform that will increase Abortion in our nation as nothing since Roe v Wade. If you could bring yourself back in time to the week before the Roe v Wade decision, knowing what you now know, would you pray more fiercely than you have ever prayed before? Now is just that time as it pertains to changes in the way that Health Care is managed in our nation.

Scripture tells us:

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chron 7:13-14)

We aren’t to take this moment in time to bemoan the fact that the unbelievers in Congress aren’t repenting from their ways, rather, as Christians, who bear His name, we are called to be introspective, to find within our own lives ways in which we fail to give Glory and Honor to God and to repent of our own failings. By doing our part, God has promised to hear our prayer and to heal our land. We know God is forever faithful to His promise. Let us humble ourselves, pray and seek his face. Pray that no Health Care Reform be passed without explicit protection for life from conception until natural death. No tax payer funding should be provided to pay for abortions, and all medical professionals (including Pharmacists) should have the freedom to refuse to participate in any procedure that goes against their conscience.

Abortion Site Sprinkler System Up & Running

Now that it looks like we’re heading back into warmer weather, the sprinkler system in the front of the property at the abortion site has been brought back into functioning condition. This means that while you come to the sidewalk to pray you may find yourself being watered, along with the sidewalk and the road in front of the property. As always, the Truckee Meadows Water Authority closely monitors the use of water, including the water used on landscapes in the area of the abortion site, located at 5915 Tyrone Road. According to their website, businesses and residences are to follow the same watering schedule, with odd numbered addresses allowed to water only on the following days – Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The use of water is controlled based on a series of rules, Rule 2 addresses the Excessive Use of Water and Water Waste.

The Truckee Meadows Water Authority website states the following:

Report Water Waste in Your Community

If you encounter wasteful use of our precious water resources, please go to:

Have You Encountered Disturbing the Peace or a Noise Nuisance?

Have you been to the sidewalk and been subjected to a noise nuisance while there? Did you know that the City of Reno has a code that specifically addresses disturbing the peace and public nuisances?

Sec. 8.12.020. - Disturbing the peace.

It is unlawful for any person to commit a breach of the peace. Such breach shall consist of:

Fighting or challenging to fight; or
Conduct or words calculated to provoke violence or a violation of the law by the person to whom the conduct or words are addressed; or
Making annoying, lewd, malicious or threatening telephone calls; or
Willfully and unreasonably subjecting a person or neighborhood to any noise which is likely to disturb the peace of persons of reasonable and ordinary sensibilities.

(Code 1966, § 11.12.090; Ord. No. 5047, § 1, 9-28-99; Ord. No. 5387, § 1, 11-5-02)

And further on in the code regarding Nuisances:

Sec. 8.22.035. - Nuisances per se defined.

Any of the following conditions are a nuisance per se as constituting conditions which annoy, injure or endanger the safety, health or comfort of any considerable number of persons:

(1) An unsafe or dangerous building; …

Please Ask Your Church to Adopt A Day at the Sidewalk

Thus far, our campaign success in maintaining a nearly constant vigil at the sidewalk has been possible because people like you have stepped up and requested that their pastors support Adopt a Day through their church. The vast majority of the churches that have stepped up to this challenge have been Catholic, but this campaign is by no means a Catholic endeavor. The national director of 40 Days for Life is not Catholic, and many of the campaigns around the country are led by non-Catholic Christians. Many of our local regular prayer volunteers are themselves not Catholic and we would like to see our campaign better reflect the entire body of Christ as we Pray to End Abortion. Won’t you please approach your pastor and request that your congregation join on the sidewalk to defend the most innocent and defenseless children be protected from abortion?

What we have found is that those who come to the sidewalk grow in the depth of their relationship to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Being there where the killings are done also creates a sense of just how serious this issue is and increases the intensity of the prayers that it will soon come to an end. These are the spiritual benefits of participating in this campaign at the frontlines, not to mention the benefits that occur when a mother sees those who love her child enough to come out of their comfort zone to plead for the innocent life. We can’t save every child that is brought to the abortion site, but on occasion, we see the fruit of our labors, through an innocent life saved. Won’t you come to Pray to End Abortion?

339 Babies Saved!

World-wide, there are a reported 339 babies saved during the current 40 Days for Life campaign. The incredible thing is that we know from local experience that there are saves that aren’t reported to the sidewalk, sometimes for years afterwards, and sometimes they are never reported to those who come to pray and council the women entering the abortion site. Praise God for all those who are saved from abortion and the women who are spared the trauma! Praise God also for those who have been brought to the healing of Our Lord Jesus Christ through the witness provided at the sidewalk.

Events Changing by the Hour

[National Right To Life ] – By Dave Andrusko - Events are changing by the hour, so hold on to your hat as we move closer to a vote on the Senate health care bill. Since the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is a major participant in delivering health care, its opposition to Senate bill H.R. 3590 now before the House for action--or non-action action--is crucially important. (See Part Two for a brief explanation of some of the latest shenanigans being proposed by the pro-abortion Democratic congressional leadership.)

Critics of NRLC and the Bishops argue that they misread the language of the Senate bill, passed last December. Some go so far as to tell us that the Senate's bill (which intentionally does not include the equivalent of the House's pro-life Stupak-Pitts amendment) is more pro-life! NRLC has debunked that dangerous silliness repeatedly, as have the Bishops. ( www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March10/nv031210.html )

Last night, Cardinal Francis George, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a statement reiterating the Conference's opposition under the title, "The Cost is too High; the Loss is too Great." You can read the statement in its entirety at www.catholicnewsagency.com/document.php?n=980 .

On behalf of the Bishops, Cardinal George highlights three objections, none of which is "quibbling over technicalities," all of which make the bill "deeply disturbing" to the Bishops.

They include (1) the way the proposed multi-state plans are constructed violate the understanding exemplified by the Hyde Amendment which "excludes abortion from all health insurance plans receiving federal subsidies."

(2) "Further, the Senate bill authorizes and appropriates billions of dollars in new funding outside the scope of the appropriations bills covered by the Hyde amendment and similar provisions."

And (3) "Additionally, no provision in the Senate bill incorporates the longstanding and widely supported protection for conscience regarding abortion as found in the Hyde/Weldon amendment." Cardinal George adds, "Moreover, neither the House nor Senate bill contains meaningful conscience protection outside the abortion context." To Continue Reading

URGENT – Help Stop Largest Expansion of Abortion Funding in US History

[Operation Rescue ] - A critical vote on health care in the Budget Committee is expected Monday, one that would clear the way for a final vote later this week on legislation that would insure the largest expansion of abortion funding in the history of this nation.

PLEASE CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS NOW and ask them to oppose the current health care proposal. Contact Congressmen; Contact Senators

Watch a 2 minute video about the dangers of this health care bill.

Make no mistake. This entire health care bill is all about abortion funding, or it would have passed months ago.

Abortion is THE issue on which President Obama and his fellow radical pro-aborts in Congress will not compromise.

But people like you and me have clearly spoken. Over 71% of us are OPPOSED to tax-funded abortion, so much so that we would rather defeat any health care reform than allow even one cent of our tax money to be used to fund the injustice of abortion.

But that has not mattered to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Henry Waxman , and others who are bent on ramming through abortion funding no matter the will of the people or the political consequences.

They are trying every trick in the book – and then some – to circumvent the vast opposition to the government take-over of health care.

Last week, Rep. Louise Slaughter proposed changing the rules so that the abortion faction in Congress could pass this oppressive law without having to vote on it! That’s because they don’t have the votes, and they know it.

To “deem” a law voted on when there was no vote, as Slaughter proposed, is a step toward utter totalitarianism and should be a wake-up call to the American people that this administration will stop at nothing to make sure that as many babies as possible die from abortion – at taxpayer expense!

Don’t forget who Obama hand-picked to run the Department of Health and Human Services. It is none other than former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who was heavily supported by Planned Parenthood and the largest late-term abortionist in the country at that time, George Tiller.

What About My Friends Situation?

“I’m not certain if I’m Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, but I wanted to stop and ask, What about my friends situation?” This is how a conversation at the sidewalk began today. She works around the corner and has been passing our prayer volunteers on a daily basis. She finally realized she wanted to stop and ask our opinion regarding her friend’s situation. Her friend’s pregnancy went awry with an ultra-sound indicating that her child no-longer had a heartbeat. Her doctor explained that since her child had not survived and yet was not spontaneously expelled that he needed to perform a D&C, the same procedure that is done in an abortion. Sadly, while this woman was grieving the loss of her child, she was also experiences of guilt, believing that she had participated in an abortion. It was quickly explained that based on the information given, this was NOT an abortion, which would be the intentional killing of a living child in the womb. Her situation was one where the no longer living child needed to be removed for the health of the mother and to ensure that her future fertility not be impacted. This young woman was comforted to learnt that we were not standing in judgment of her friend and were even willing to talk to her friend to help her come to terms with what had been a medically necessary procedure.

She was also given information on Post-abortion healing programs so that if her friend continued to have feelings of guilt she could participate in a weekend retreat or weekly bible study program to address this perceived guilt.

Interestingly, as we were talking to her, the vile recordings which have been played on the speakers outside the abortion site were turned on for the first time in the past several weeks. This young woman was shocked by what she was hearing, several times cocking her head in amazement and questioning us several times if this was for real. We assured her that this was what we have on many occasions had to listen to as we stand in prayer for those who enter the abortion site, both those who come to abort and those who work to provide the abortions. By the time she was leaving she had been exposed to enough of the offensive noise that she was quite interested in calling to report the nuisance to the police. We appreciate that those who are unaffiliated with our campaign notice on their own the offensive nature of what is being broadcast and are willing, on their own, to contact the officials to submit a report. The offense has less to do with our opposition to what is being done at this location and more with the specifics of the violation of the ordinance regarding a public nuisance.

Two prayer volunteers remained at the sidewalk after she departed, and returned to their prayer with the on-going noise in the background, until shortly after they found themselves once again praying with the peace of silent speakers. It was presumed that this young woman followed through and submitted a report to the police. And for that, we thank her sincerely.

When we stand in prayer, we have the opportunity to be present to those who are struggling to determine where they stand on the issue of abortion and how it pertains to the real life decisions that they and their friends have encountered. Are you willing to help build a Culture of Life here in Reno? When you come to the sidewalk at 5915 Tyrone Rd (for directions, go to: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/westend ), please bring some of the referrals to local pregnancy resources that we provide to offer to the women who come to the abortion site. If you haven’t seen this handout, please download a copy from our website. There is a link to it located on the team page, or you can go to it directly at: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/resources . These resources provide the women with the opportunity to fully explore their choices before they end up at a dead end.

Day 28 - I Corinthians 16 – II Corinthians 9 (including: II Corinthians 4: 1-6): Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged. Rather, we have renounced shameful, hidden things; not acting deceitfully or falsifying the word of God, but by the open declaration of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even though our gospel is veiled, it is veiled for those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they may not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus. For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of [Jesus] Christ.

Abortion Stalls 'Health Care Reform' While Poll Finds Young Are Pro-Life

[American Life League ] – – A Gallup poll released today shows that young adults are increasingly anti-abortion – bad news for legislators attempting to pass a federal “health care reform” bill that subsidizes it.

“What we’re seeing is a generation that views attacks on human beings’ lives – such as abortion – as human rights abuses,” said Michael Barnett, director of American Life League’s LiveCampus project. “As that generation gap widens, legislators hoping to attract the youth vote and pass ‘health care reform’ are going to have to come to grips with that.”

In an article titled “Generational Differences on Abortion Narrow,” Gallup contends that 18-to-29-year-olds are now roughly tied with seniors as the most likely of all age groups to hold an “illegal in all circumstances” view of abortion.

“This confirms anecdotal evidence we’re gathering on colleges across the country with our LiveCampus project,” Barnett continued. “Abortion doesn’t make sense to a generation that wants social justice for all human beings. It doesn’t take a Gallup poll to see that decades of decriminalized abortion have left an undeniable void in the lives of millennials – brothers, sisters and future classmates whose rights were denied even in the womb.”.

50 Stand Witness to Life in Reno on Sunday

Today’s Life Chain event, at the corner of Sth Virginia and Sth McCarran saw over 50 people come out to bring the message that “Abortion Kills Children” to the streets of Reno. For a peaceful 1 ½ hours these pro-life advocates stood silently while promoting the message of Life. The event caught the attention of KOH News Talk Radio, as well as the Reno News and Review. For the most part, those who drove by gave positive responses, but there was the occasional thumbs down or the single finger pointing to heaven. The one that several noticed and had a hard time understanding was the young man driving by and shouting his disagreement with our message. As he passed, a “Baby Onboard” sign was seen in the back window. Several people independently commented on the oxymoronic nature of these messages.

Are you prepared to promote a consistent message for Life? When you come to the sidewalk at 5915 Tyrone Rd (for directions, go to: www.40DaysforLife.com/RenoTahoe/westend ), please bring some of the referrals to local pregnancy resources that we provide to offer to the women who come to the abortion site.

This would give you the opportunity to be present when the doctor and his staff arrive for their day of work. We would like them to see that we are praying for them as their day begins.

Perhaps you can take an early lunch and come to the sidewalk at 11 am, staying to pray for an hour. Or would you be able to swing by at the end of the work day to pray from 5-7 pm? We like to continue our prayers at the sidewalk even after the doctor and his staff have left for the day. If the weather turns, praying from your car still provides the spiritual benefit to the site, but seeing a prayer volunteer standing in inclement weather has turned more than one person from abortion or from participating in the industry, as they see the strength of our commitment. Help us maintain a constant vigil for 12 hours of the day, from 7 am until 7 pm daily. Please register using our online calendar, so we can be certain that the sidewalk is covered in constant prayer.

The business of selling death is typically busiest in Reno on Weds through Friday. Won’t you please commit to pray at the sidewalk for an hour on these days to assist us in filling the schedule?

40 Days through Scripture

Day 27 1 Corinthians 10 - 15 (including: 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11): Now in regard to spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. You know how, when you were pagans, you were constantly attracted and led away to mute idols. Therefore I tell you that nobody speaking by the spirit of God says, “Jesus be accursed.” And no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the holy Spirit.

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another mighty deeds; to another prophesy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.

What gifts of the Holy Spirit belong to you? How are you using them to give Glory and Honor to God? In what are they meant to be used to support Life from the moment of conception through natural death? Take the time, use your gifts wisely.

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.

Exposing the Gendercide

[Survivors ] – A couple of weeks ago, during a conversation with Cheryl Conrad, Director of Operations for Survivors, she mentioned a "Walk" concerning infanticide in India due to sex-selection abortions. She told me that they were having an event in San Francisco as well as events all over India and that we should attend.

I prayed about it, got the okay, and excitedly agreed. I emailed the event organizer, a woman named Nyna Pais Caputi, and shared our interest in attending and also how my personal testimony had a great deal to do with her event. Upon learning my story, she asked me to speak at the event. Honored, I gladly accepted her invitation.

I must admit I had some apprehension at first. I had never been around my own people before, my own heritage. You see, I am East Indian myself, but I had a much closer connection to this event than my ethnicity alone.

As I looked through the website for the event, www.petalsinthedust.com , trying to get a grasp of the organization's vision, I viewed a trailer for a documentary Nyna and her husband Gino are currently filming called "Petals in the Dust." It was here that the shocking statistics listed at the beginning flashed before my eyes, as well as many heart-wrenching stories. That's when I realized how identical these stories were to my own.

My birthmother was from Punjab, India. She was married to a successful professor in Punjab, and had two beautiful daughters, but in a matter of a couple months her entire world changed. In 1991 her husband died suddenly of a heart attack. Already devastated by this shocking event, she found that she had something more to worry about: She was pregnant, and on top of it all, it was a girl.

For centuries the female gender has been looked upon as a burden to society in many regions of India. Families who have only female children and no males are considered social outcasts -- "cursed by the gods" by many organized religions. Over the years this problem has grown so prevalent in India's culture that female infanticide and feticide has become a silent part of their lifestyle. To Continue Reading

Unions Attack Democrats Who Don't Support Pro-Abortion Health Care Bill

[LifeNews.com, Washington, DC] - The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which represents nearly two million workers in over 100 occupations across the United States, is coming under fire. The labor union is pressuring Democratic lawmakers who oppose the pro-abortion health care bill.

In some cases, the union is threatening pro-life Democrats and others who are undecided on the legislation with supporting primary election opponents if they don't vote yes on the bill or motions to make the bill law.

The House is expected to vote as soon as this week on the Senate bill that includes abortion funding and promotion.

According to the Plum Line blog, Rep Mike McMahon of New York met recently with Mike Fishman, president of SEIU 32bj, the largest property workers union in the country.

Fishman threatened McMahon with dropping its support for him if he voted no and finding a primary opponent to run against him.

He let us know he’s not supportive of the health care plan, Fishman said, according to Plum Line. We've let him know that we can't support somebody who doesn't support it. We are going to begin talking to other unions about finding someone else for that seat." "We're sending a message to Democrats: If you can't support this, we can't support you," he added.
